Seasonal Activity Chart
Fluke
Chasing fluke around Northeast Harbor presents a unique challenge and reward. This area, with its mix of rocky coastline and sandy bottom inlets, offers diverse habitats for these fish. The key here is understanding the seasonal movement of their forage – sand eels, small crabs, and other crustaceans. Focus your efforts around the mouths of Somes Sound and the shallower waters of the harbor itself, especially during the warmer months of July and August when water temperatures peak. A practical tip: Pay close attention to the tide. Fluke tend to be more active during moving tides, ambushing prey near structure. Also, consider using a fish finder to locate drop-offs and changes in bottom composition, as these areas often hold concentrations of fish. Be prepared to adjust your depth and presentation to match the current conditions and the fluke's preferences. Natural presentations, like bucktails tipped with squid or fluke belly, tend to work well in these waters.
